Integration with Gmail and Chat

1. Integration with Gmail and Chat

To manage notifications for comments in a document, open the comment history and select notifications. You can choose to receive notifications for all comments or only your comments or you can disable comments completely. When you and a collaborator are simultaneously editing a document, their Google account profile photo or first initial will appear in the upper right hand corner to the left of the Share and Comment history buttons. To chat with them in real time, select Show chat to open the chat panel in the document and type in the chat box. All collaborators will be able to see the chat. With Gmail support for dynamic emails, notifications from Google Docs can be responded to without having to open the document. Review the comments in Gmail and type your response into the reply box. Additionally, from the File menu in the dock, you can select Email, then choose email as attachment to send the current version of the document as a PDF or another file format. You can also email your collaborators using the email collaborators option. All collaborators are included as recipients, but you can remove any of them or choose the recipients based on the permissions they have.
